"We care about what's happening where we live. That's why ground-based temperatures are most relevant to humans," said Texas Tech climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe.

That is a pretty stupid thing for a SCIENTIST to say. "I only care about the less than 10% of the Earth's surface inhabited by humans."

Meanwhile their ground sensors are primarily located in urban heat islands where the temperatures are artificially elevated by pavement and buildings and natural air currents are disturbed by buildings.

Any scientist should be grateful to get as many data points as possible from as wide a variety sources as possible.

So much for “average global temperature” in that case, which they love to tout.
